Testimonials: How Other People Feel About Dr. Jing and Life Essentials Center
For five years, I battled chronic, debilitating lower-back and left-leg pain due to degenerative disc disease in my lower back (L5-S1 area). After five-plus years of seeking treatment from a string of MDs and physical therapists, and devoting myself to their prescribed regiments including long-term physical therapy, oral steroids and rounds of epidural steroid injections, I still had no relief. If anything, my symptoms had worsened. Fed up with the pain and suffering, my husband and I met with yet another orthopedic surgeon who recommended spinal fusion -- a very involved, painful procedure that requires months of recovery. Thinking that this procedure -- however horrible it sounded -- was my “last resort”, my husband and I all but agreed to it while in the doctor’s office. But once home, I decided I’d make one more “last ditch effort” to avoid this major surgery. I had heard and read about acupuncture but never tried it….But if there was a time to start, this would be it. I was willing to try almost anything to avoid “the knife”. I met with Dr. Jing Shen just days after our visit with the orthopedic surgeon. After one 45 minute session with Dr. Jing, my pain, which was an eight on a one-to-ten scale, was significantly reduced and almost obsolete! After about two months of regular visits, my pine, which had taken a hefty a toll on my psyche and personal and professional lives for years, was GONE. I regularly refer to acupuncture with Dr. Jing as my “miracle cure”. Dr. Jing is a compassionate, attentive practitioner whom I would trust with any health concern. I highly recommend Dr. Jing Shen as an acupuncturist and herbalist and the whole of Life Essentials for its highest quality of services. ——— Amy Rush, St. Louis, MO
I am with pain in my neck for more then ten years. After seeing chiropractors and orthopedic doctors without results, I didn’t know what else to do. I now realize that while it is not an immediate process taking a pill, several visits to life Essentials has relieved me of my chronic neck pain, more recent discomfort in my hip and raised my overall energy level. Dr. Jing Shen is steeped in the Chinese medicinal tradition which I believe is a better overall approach to wellness. I would recommend her insights for a wide variety of health issues. ——— Jonathan Brown (St. Louis, MO)
In one visit Dr. Jing Shen helped relieve a horrible cold and an issue with my lower back. She has also helped me with more chronic conditions such as menstruation pain and my sore hip. I feel like a different person and highly recommend Life Essentials Center for anyone from daily aches and pains to more serious health problems. --- Amanda Puett (St. Louis, MO)
Dr. Jing has been most helpful in helping my body to heal. When I first come to her I had pain in my shoulder, foot, keens, hip, and beck. I clean for a living and I had a lot of pain. I also had headaches and mood swings and hot flashes from menopause. The other day I was Dr. Jing in my car and realized that I was pain-free. Wow that was great. When Dr. Jing works with you she asks questions to make sure she is giving you the right kind of treatment. Be good to yourself and call Dr. Jing and stop the pain in your body. ——— Monica Mann (St. Louis, MO)
I would like to thank Dr. Jing Shen for helping me improve my quality of life. I have way too many challenges due to taking psyche meds for 30 years. I have stopped taking psyche mead and done a lot of exercising on various machines. In spite of that, I still had frequent involuntary shaking that did not let me sit for any amount of time in one place, and I had absolutely no endurance. After many of my first treatment with Dr. Jing, I had dramatic temporary relief. The acupuncture, cupping and herbs that Dr. Jing has given me directly for Parkinson’s symptoms have helped me a lot. After 6 months, I can go somewhere and expect to be able to endure sitting and being sociable for hours at a time. ——— Thelma Guittar, St. Louis, MO
I was so lucky to find Dr. Jing Shen to help me maintain a pain-free life. After two back surgeries and a recent shoulder surgery, I still lead an active life and owe my own business. After several months of physical therapy following major rotator cuff repair, my doctor complained that I had a frozen shoulder, and that I had not done enough. Pain had stopped me from pushing harder. I went to Dr. Jing for acupuncture and herbs, and I have better flexibility than my doctor told me to expect. I really appreciate that, even when I do not have major issues to address, Dr. Jing keeps me feeling well and participating fully in my life. She is a true gift. ——— Gert Booher, St. Louis, MO
I am woman who is in her fifties. I had my aches and pains but nothing I could handle. I periodically would go to my chiropractor and he’d fix me up and I would be good for months on end. But that was all short lived, after a student thought it would be funny to jump up on the front of me, wrapping his legs around my hips and his arms around my neck. By doing this he sprained and strained every muscle in my body from my head to my toes. Because of this incident I had to retire early from my job. After almost three years of being in constant pain, seven different doctors, three sessions of physical therapy, pain management center, massage therapy, I was out of specialists when my sister led me to her massage therapist who then led me to Dr. Jing Shen, acupuncturist. I was a little scared but my son who had a skiing incident while in Japan strained his back so his good friend sent to his family’s acupuncturist and his pain was gone by the time he left. He convinced me to go and I’m so glad I did. I have three bulging disc, chronic upper and lower back pain, nerve pain in my left knee, and chronic sciatica in my hips. I’m very active person and all of this pain was really getting me down. I was dizzy sometimes, off balance and generally just didn’t feel right. Dr. Jing was a godsend. After a few weeks of acupuncture and personalized special blend of herbs, I felt like some of my old self started coming back. Dr. Jing made me feel so comfortable and she explained everything that she was doing and why. She is compassionate and knowledgeable about her practice. It’s amazing when she informs you of how the body works. I’ve learned so much about how important nutrition is in the healing process. She’s taught me how one part of the body affects the other and how acupuncture can fix that. I can’t say enough about her and how I feel after a session. At one point after a few weeks I experienced a total release. It was a heavenly feeling of no pain. ——— Respectfully: Donna V |
